Snakes & Tattoos

Born to well-to-do parents in Singapore, Australia girl Lauren lived like a princess, had good grades and everything that a girl could ask for. Then, family issues cropped up and to seal her fate, she was raped by someone close to the family.

Lauren’s life took a downward spiral into depression, self-injury and sexual confusion. Where therapy had failed, tattoos seemed to have worked. She began to ink her body, found new friends and a new lease of life. So fond of tattoos was she that she studied and wrote a thesis on it.

Destined never to work in an office, Lauren is now a model and a performer, working with fire and snakes. With so many tattoos on her body, what stories does she have to tell us? Check it out in our book, Leaving The Pain Behind.
